2. Wood fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_fuel

   The use of wood as a fuel source for heating is much older than civilization and is assumed to have been used by Neanderthals. Today, burning of wood is the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel can be used for cooking and heating, and occasionally for fueling steam engines and steam turbines that generate electricity.

3. Pellet heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_heating

   Wood pellet heating systems work with different techniques of charging and combustion: Today there are specifically developed loading techniques for pellet combustion like drop chute firing, underfeed firing, side-fed firing or the use of a roller grate system. The method of charging and combustion of the pellet fuel is divided into 5 technologies.

4. Biomass (energy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_(energy)

   Examples include wood, wood residues, energy crops, agricultural residues including straw, and organic waste from industry and households. [1] Wood and wood residues is the largest biomass energy source today. Wood can be used as a fuel directly or processed into pellet fuel or other forms of fuels.

5. Pellet fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_fuel

   The total sales of wood pellets in New Zealand was 300,000–500,000 tonnes in 2013. Recent construction of new wood pellet plants has given a huge increase in production capacity. [78] Nature's Flame wood pellet processing plant, in Taupo, is due in late 2019 to double its annual production capacity to 85,000 tonnes. [79]

6. Firewood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewood

   Stack of firewood next to a building Stack of split firewood and a splitting maul, Czech Republic. Firewood is any wooden material that is gathered and used for fuel.Generally, firewood is not heavily processed and is in some sort of recognizable log or branch form, compared to other forms of wood fuel like pellets.

7. Wood finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_finishing

   The sandpaper selected for the final sanding stage affects the colour of stained wood, and therefore when staining is part of finishing avoid sanding the wood to a very smooth finish. [7] On the other hand, according to Nagyszalanczy if you are using an oil-based finish, it is desirable to sand the wood using higher grit sandpaper (400 grit ...

8. Torrefaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrefaction

   Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment of biomass at 200 to 320 °C (392 to 608 °F). It is carried out under atmospheric pressure and in the absence of oxygen.During the torrefaction process, the water contained in the biomass as well as superfluous volatiles are released, and the biopolymers (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) partly decompose, giving off various types of volatiles. [4]

9. Solid fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_fuel

   In many areas, wood is the most easily available form of fuel, requiring no tools in the case of picking up dead wood, or few tools. Today, burning of wood is the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel can be used for cooking and heating, and occasionally for fueling steam engines and steam turbines that generate ...
